Vision. In its simplest definition, vision is the state of being able to see. Taken a step further, vision is the ability to plan for the future. That’s where businesses get the term “vision statement” from — the statement that defines the future state of an organization, what they want to achieve and accomplish.
Vision is so much more than that! Vision is what lets us see beyond our obstacles to what God has in store for our lives. In spite of where you are and the choices you have made, visions can restore what is lacking, be it our health, our jobs, or our relationships.
I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friends, Kay and Olu Tawio, in the 1onOne studio to talk about vision.
They’re the authors of an amazing book called The Vision Guided Life. This smart, straightforward book is a guide to discovering, understanding, and applying God’s vision for our lives. Psalm 37:4-5 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.”
Vision, Kay and Olu explained, is beyond ambition and beyond setting goals. Ambition is focused on the self — what can I do to benefit me most? Vision comes from God and is focused on the benefit of others!
Here’s the thing. All of us, at one time or another get stuck in a “pause” mode. These pauses can be short or long, self-imposed or a result of something beyond our control. The problem is, when we’re stuck in pause, we’re missing critical information! The longer we’re stuck in a perpetual pause, the further we move from God, and the harder it is to see His vision for us.
The Tawio twins’ book serves as a guide to get from where you are to where God intends you to be. The best part? There’s something in this book for everyone!
Maybe you have no idea what God’s vision is for you. Maybe you think you have your vision, but want to know if it’s in line with God’s plan for you. Maybe you need some encouragement and fine-turning to be better at your purpose.
We all have visions, gifts, and talents to do great things! This book will help awaken that vision.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose,” Romans 8:28
